  • Subject: JBA technical documentation
  • From: Dan Thomas <DThomas@xxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1999 13:27:49 -0400

Has anyone reviewed or used the 'technical documentation' that is listed as
part of the JBA S21 Explorer product?  Explorer comes with a viewer, but
supposedly there is an Access database you can purchase that lists "where
used" cross reference type of info.  I don't know whether it documents
"status fields", speaking of which can Dan Bale elaborate on a few examples
of status fields for which he is looking for info?  Internal program fields,
or status fields like order line status (STAT55 / OEP55) where 'X' means the
line was cancelled? 

We also asked for, and received, from our local JBA office some internal
documentation that explained some file relationships, contents of LDA, etc.
It wasn't very good, but has been helpful in some cases.  I just looked for
it in my office and can't find it and I'm hoping one of my Analysts also has
a copy.  It was about 200 pages and appeared to be around 4-5 years old.

If it turns out nothing is available, I for one would be willing to
participate in a group effort to develop such documentation (I've already
done done some of this for my company).  Yes, this should be available from
JBA, but if it is not and your company is committed to JBA for several more
years (we are) then developing such documentation could be useful.
